There's a lot of ultimate guns, it depends on the class and the level I'd say really.
Online I always find people who think they know better, and say highly intelligent things. Here's some quotes of wisdom I have found for your enjoyment from online Borderlands players, some of them 12 years old.
"Elemantal effects are worthless, the attack is always crap on them"
"The gun proficiency is useless, you get like faster reloading or whatever. Just powerlevel with people and you can get to 50, that's ALL that matters"
"Who'd use a pistol when there's bazookas anyone can use!"
"Soldiers ain't medics!! So I'm not fucking healing you n*****s"
"Hey guys, check out my awesome gun!" and he tosses it out for people to view only for some asshole to take and quit

Maybe there is and maybe there isn't. You won't know till you get em all. Better start collecting!
You're most likely doing no damage as you aren't shooting their abdomen. They absorb ALLL damage in their heads, but the abdomen's weak against pretty much anything.miracleofsound said:
Honestly... the gun is quite crap. Once you start versing the Crimsons, put it away and stick with either static weapons or corrosive ones.House25 said:
The OMG Cannon is really not all that good.
The recharge time is massive.
Sure it has unlimited ammo, but it only fires 4 shots before needing to recharge (which takes about 30 seconds, plenty of time for you to die).
I find that a good machine gun is best for all situations, but I always have a kickass scattergun for backup. And shotguns are best against spiderants, and I've found that, surprise surprise, machine guns are best against guardians. Or electrical weapons.
If there was, it would sort of defeat the purpose of the game having multiple playthrough functionality.
for the guardians lighting then any other weapon, they have amazing shields, but no defense.miracleofsound said:
for spiderants pretty much anything, I like shotguns or smgs, just got to get behind them and unload. also I am in play threw one so I dont know if that changes in +
There's an old man who spends his time in the tavern next door who claims he's seen it. I wouldn't believe a word he says though. The geezer's got a screw loose. you could talk to him, but I wouldn't advise it.
I have a revolver that recharges ammo faster then you ca nfire it and is more accurate then my sniper rifle...it's slightly weak, but I make it up with my X4 Corrosive 2 shot reolver that is mroe accurate then the previous revolver and has 47%+ reload speed.
DIE ! DIE ! DIE!
Still looking for guns though.

Oh, I know of the Dove. On my first playthrough as Soldier (now level 47) I found that and had fun simply shooting the walls for a while. He's more of a rifle guy, though. I've found that the perfect rifle has mods on it that reduce recoil and, preferable, has a scope. As of yet, the best rifles I've been getting are S&S types.Kalezian said:
For the hunter, I think I've found that the main fighting should be done with a Revolver, while you should have a 'machine-pistol' (pistol with high fire rate, almost like a machine gun) as a secondary instead of an SMG or rifle. By having 2 main pistols, your proficiency in pistols goes up even higher, quicker.
With Snipers, the most important thing I've found was actually zoom. I found a nice sniper (no rarity, as in it was white, but placed above orange) that had the 'I've got you in my eye, sir' text in red. This gave it an insane zoom that, I believe, will allow me to see into my enemies' souls.
As for alien weapons, I haven't found much of a use for them. As soldier, I have a class mod that makes me regenerate ammo for all my weapons automatically, and I can't fire the alien weapons in succession too much. Maybe if I worked with them more, but it's quite a hassle to bring up proficiency when your first alien weapon found is quite late in the game.
After playing with the weapons for a while, and playing through the game, you come to figure out what's important or not. A gun that does more damage than the one you currently have equipped may not actually be better.
Yeah, it completely changes in Playthrough 2. The enemies that spawn are a much higher level, and there are a much higher rate of huge Bad Mutha and Matriarch spiderants. They're tough bastards!RoseBridge said:
Wait till you meet your first pack of Hardened Alpha Skags!
The human opponents in playthrough 2 are mostly pretty easy. The only one I keep stupidly falling for is the Blazing Maniacs and thier ability to knock your shield out with one hit.
Also... I wish there was a grenade indicator in this game...
...That sounds awesome! I just rented when it came out but I'm sold on crazy hard enemies, I'm picking this up today!miracleofsound said:
as for grenades when I'm aware, I just rage or phase away.
I had a lvl 22 Weapon which i still used at lvl 34 to one-shot aliens. A something something Masher ( A Revolver). It threw out 8 pellets, like a shotgun, but with high accuracy (about 80%?). Each shot doing 75 damage. It was like a sniper-shotgun and since i had Mordecai my accuracy and damagebonus made this insanely powerful. Always a crit (for a few pellets, even if you aimed at the body).
Too bad i never found a higher level version of that (yeah sometimes i needed a second shot *g*)
Oh and it had 6 Shots and 1.3 speed.

So you play Liltih too... she's the best charcater for playthrough 2, her daze skill is invaluable.RoseBridge said:
Yeah they got the difficulty balance about right in playthrough 2. It was a bit too easy at the end of PT1 to be honest, if you stayed levelled up and did sidequests.
Funnily enough, just like Fallout 3, my first five or six hours with the game I found really tough, but started to annihalate when I got the hang of the mechanics.
Those first few hours of getting pulverised are great though, because once you level up and get your revenge it's so satisfing.
RPGs have backwards difficulty curves I'm guessing this is why.
Ha, I'm Mordecai, I have trespass, I ignore all shields, fun!miracleofsound said:
Oh, and my best weapon, probably my Static Thanatos repeater pistol, it's a complete beast.
